I would certainaly buy both movies on DVD, but I'm actually rather lukewarm about a generic movie only packaging bereft of special features or restoration. If I want to see those films now, I can choose between my SP DVD copy of a laser disk or my SP copy from Dish Network of the uncut TCM airings. Both of these may not live up to the standards of commercial DVD, but the quality is fantastic and they look superb on my flat screen TV. I saw a sample of the download that's currently being offered, and after a cursory view, it seemed fine as an alternative in the meantime, until the DVDs are out. I'd rest easily if I knew FOR SURE that NODS would be restored and released in five years or when the Depp movie came out, whichever came first. As for HODS, I'd hope they'd do some sort of commentary with some of the actors and/or production people. A rush job to get the movies, a la carte onto DVD is not something I'm dying for.
